i can't see the point of lego sets these days i mean if you wanted to build something like a car then you can just buy lego that looks a bit like a car, what was wrong with building one to how you want

Because building one how you want is much more fun then buying one that looks like a car, not only that but i think that toys these days don't really encourage much role play,

to be honeat most toys these days don't seem to be unisex and forgive for bringing up lego again I'm only using it as an example but that was one of the toys that both boys and girls could play with but now you get lego that is for only boys cause you now have things such as lego ninjago and chima and lego only for girls there is lego friends

When I started purchasing toys for my kids in there younger years I had noticed they don't have the same scale,"depending on line" Sturdiness, that they used to have. He-man , GI-Joe, Transformers, Tonka Trucks YOU COULD BANG THOSE ALL OVER THE PLACE! ! THEY WOULD HARDLY EVER BREAK! ! Today "I think" to cut costs there made out of that cheap plastic. Also the Home Bases, Layers, Ships, those things were huge! ! GI-Joe_USS Flag, Transformers_Metroplex/Fortess Maximus, He-Man_Castle Grey Skull/Snake Mountain, Go Bots "yes" Command Center. I don't really see toys on that scale in the isles anymore unless it's Hot wheels, they've managed to stay original. (Invalid youtube)

I've been casually collecting figures for a while now, but I'm disappointed more often than not. I totally agree about everything based off movies or shows or whatever and I understand the marketing aspect. But in the 80s & 90s, the toy line came first and anything after was to promote it.

I actually have a cool idea for a retro-ish toy line that will never be more than an idea, sadly.

What is it?

Psshhh like I'm gonna tell? j/k

It's basically a mish-mash of genres meant to encourage imagination along with collecting. There would be a group of G.I. Joe type misfits, aliens who turn people into zombies and also cross-species animals. So it could be an apocalyptic/sci fi/horror/kaiju-esque thing with fun accessories.
